When I flew Southwest the bins were still full on full flights. I also didn't notice a major time savings from how they board and a few times there was a late arriving family that forced people to be guilted into switching.

Delta is a far more enjoyable flight experience.

This is an issue pervasive to American carriers because all the gates are served with jetbridges and you cant do express bags. I would like to see an airline just scrap the overhead bins entirely and make people check their bags, the carry-on thing has gotten way out of control.

Where is the bottom? I got out to money markets down about 8% on the year in my 401k. When do you think it’s time to move back?

I can’t imagine there can be a sustainable rally until q1 begins to report and everyone can see how decimating this is to bottom lines.

What do you mean by point to point?

There are generally less direct flights with Southwest. The other three are true hub and spoke models. So when flying out of major cities, you are almost always going direct.

Dollar cost average back in. Take whatever you have in cash, and start buying in regular increments in even dollar amounts. I recommend getting back in over the next six months, so maybe purchase in 1/12 or so increments every two weeks.

If you are really scared, average back in once a month for the next 12 months. In ten years, you will be very happy to be buying in at these prices.

I've been hearing rumors that Ronin Capital, a large Chicago trading firm, has blown out and is seeking someone to take on their positions.

Yes

That was certainly true many years ago but I don't think that's really the case any more. If you are flying out of one of their hubs (like MDW) they offer non-stops to most of their U.S. destinations.

I couldn’t get direct Boston Logan to Vegas. Just checked, and you still can’t.

Good call. Live on CNBC now. Their portfolio was liquidated today. No outside clients. They were playing the VIX.

That’s a good call. I tend to think all or nothing.

Dow is tanking again and nearing 19,000.

You can't get a non-stop on United or American on that route either.

What this crisis is showing is that your paper/electronic assets aren't worth anything.

The market is done.

I pulled a bunch of cash out this morning. Of course, it probably won't matter since the U.S. dollar will likely be going the way of the Weimar mark. Thank God I have some Bitcoin.

Just been refreshing the browser for the last hour. It's been an impressive dive. If you're in to dives that is.

Nobody wants to be holding the bag when the whole world might change over the next two days.

I'm Captain of the stock market ship. Last one off. Will watch the big mouth bulls bail out.

I hope it gets into the right people's hands. Or failing that, people's right hands.

Dollar cost averaging in a market that's falling off a cliff like this I don't know. I did it '99 and it's so devastating to see your new money, and company matches you busted your ass for tank. I think this market will have a more obvious bottom to shoot for than past bear markets for that you won't have to nail for reentry perfectly because it will be hugely off the high.

The airlines are starting to freak out.
